Pregnancy is a big deal. That baby bump just grows and grows, and then there are all the other physical and hormonal changes that take place. Then, after nine months or so, there’s a new human in the world, and the parents’ lives are never the same again.
It’s an exciting, scary, weird time for moms-to-be . One of the best ways to cope? Humor. Let’s check out some examples.
“A friend having some fun with her pregnancy.”
Miley Cyrus and her wrecking ball don’t occupy the same space in pop culture that they once did, but this is still really good.
“Our first pregnancy announcement.”
I like the movie poster treatment here. Setting up the shot looks like it required some work.
“Pregnancy announcement photo.”
Everyone knows that, while pregnancy is tough on both partners, it’s the pregnant mom-to-be who’s going through the worst of it.
“Sympathy pregnancy.”
This is probably relatable to many partners out there. While mom has an excuse for her belly, the other partner just has a sympathy gut.
“Our pregnancy announcement.”
Here’s another movie poster pregnancy announcement. It almost looks like a movie Seth Rogen would have been in back in 2009 or so.
“Got pregnant at the beginning of the pandemic. We have been isolating ever since and no one else really knew.”
I like the horror vibes of this photo. The lighting and hazmat suit are on point, and that’s before you even get to the baby belly.
“My friends’ pregnancy announcement. As a craft beer connoisseur, she had very mixed emotions.”
If you and your partner are pregnant, and you’re not the pregnant one, it goes without saying that you get to enjoy a few perks.
“19 years ago today, on Halloween, this is how I announced to my students and colleagues that I was pregnant.”
It’s all well and good to do a pregnancy photo in the age of ubiquitous smartphone cameras, but this vintage announcement was captured on actual film.
“In the pregnancy announcements topic, this was ours.”
Not knowing Spanish, I thought the caption meant they were embarrassed, and I didn’t understand why.
Well, turns out embarazados means pregnant.
“Nine months pregnant Thor at the OBGYN.”
I really, really hope she went right into the doctor’s office dressed in this getup. Even if she didn’t, the photo is epic.
“My friend and his wife announced their pregnancy today.”
This is a happy little pregnancy announcement photo. We could all use some soothing Bob Ross vibes when going through this process.
“This pregnancy announcement.”
I cringed a little when I saw this photo, but I guess if you’re farmers and you find this funny, more power to you.
“Tried to do little cute pregnancy announcement…big sister apparently isn’t very excited.”
Parents of multiple kids know that older kids sometimes get jealous and upset. Sometimes, this happens before their sibling is even born.
“‘Honey I left your dinner in the microwave’ and they say pregnancy brain isn’t a thing.”
I’m sure anyone who’s been through a pregnancy can relate to this. Sometimes, for whatever reason, the brain chemistry just isn’t there.
“This is how I chose to announce my pregnancy.”
I really like this one because it’s subtle. Only after looking at the photo for a moment do you realize the horrors.
